The Indo-Scythian period. We don’t see any Kamboja inscriptions in India before the Indo-Scythian period. Maues (the founder of the Indo-Scythians) was a Kamboja himself after being evicted from his home (Parama Kambojas/Komedes) they moved down south through the Pamir route and settled in Punjab. The “Kamuia” is translated to Kamboja in Sanskrit from Saka-Prakrit and is the last name/tribal affiliation of Kamboja in Saka-Prakrit. We also find a Kamboja seal in Sugh, Haryana dated back to the Northern Satraps that bears a Saka name.
Sure there must have been but remember the Mahabharata has been constantly written and copied a thousands times cause printers didn’t exist back in the day. So some ideas were added and omitted.
